Belfast, Northern Ireland – 16th August 2023. Northern Irish indie developer Outsider Games is thrilled to announce they will be unveiling their latest project Tax-Force, the comic book inspired, narrative action rogue-lite title, on the Indie Arena booth at this year’s Gamescom. The team will be showcasing the first-ever hands-on gameplay of Tax-Force, as well as the chance to meet with the Outsider Games team.Tax-Force will be coming to PC via Steam and is available to Wishlist now. 

Tax-Force is a narrative action rogue-lite that forces the player to weigh up morality-based policies and economic strategy. Its themes deal with the economic and personal effects of government policy and corporate responsibility.

The Galaxy is in debt. In a final, desperate attempt to save the planet from bankruptcy, and prevent the shutdown of Farset13’s Solar Shield, you are invited to lead Tax-Force – an elite department of heavily armed Treasurers granted emergency powers to hunt down billionaire mutant tax evaders. 

You have just 7 days to fight your way through their defences, negotiate repayments and clear the debt directly, or reinvest in your city to grow the economy before the planet burns to a crisp

“Over the last couple of years, we’ve been working on developing our magnum opus, Tax-Force,  which combines the team’s love of 90’s comic books and our disdain for tax-avoiding billionaires” commented Stephen Downey, CEO of Outsider games. “We have been working extremely hard on creating something very special with Tax-Force and we can’t wait to unveil the game on the Indie Arena booth at Gamescom”.

Watch the teaser trailer for Tax-Force here

• Mutant Powers – Specials inspired by superhero mutant powers. Astral Projection! Metal Man! Optical Blasts!
• Strategy and Morality – Negotiate with targets to affect the economy, narrative and gameplay on each run. Every decision challenges players to choose between sci-fi metaphors for socialist vs capitalist economic policies.
• Rebuild – As you reinvest in society, the gameplay reacts. Price and potency of healing responds to public or private investment in healthcare. Weapons and criminal activity adjust as you increase defence spend, while new bridges and paths appear as you invest in infrastructure. 
• Branching Narrative – Every decision leads to narrative consequences for the Farset13 citizens, as their stories are guided by your choices, and the city organically grows and changes around them.
• Timeloop – Death activates your time-travelling mutant power, sending you back to Day 1, armed with knowledge of your enemies and the consequences of your actions.
• Stunning Visuals – Gorgeous, hand-drawn comic book art style inspired by Jim Lee and 90’s X-men comics.

CCP Games Veteran-led Development Studio Arctic Theory Unveils Rebrand and New Website, Introduces Official Name and Details for Genre-Bending MMO ‘Pioneers of New Dawn’ Previously Announced as Codename ‘Annex’ in Late 2022.

• Founded in 2020, the studio is helmed by CCP Games and Electronic Arts vets
• Previous titles worked on include EVE Online,The Sims franchise and more
• Pioneers of New Dawn will feature ambitious and unique world-building
• Further information on closed alpha date will be announced in Q4 2023

Hafnarfjörður, Iceland, August 16 | 2023 — Arctic Theory, founded by industry veterans with decades of experience creating some of the most iconic and ambitious multiplayer games enjoyed by millions worldwide, announces the official name of its forthcoming MMO previously known as Codename: Annex – Pioneers of New Dawn.

Official synopsis: Pioneers of New Dawn (PoND) is a sandbox MMO set in the persistent world of New Dawn, a planet finally rejuvenated centuries after a global ecological disaster. It beckons Pioneers, the optimistic descendants of its former inhabitants, urging them to return and embark on a journey of exploration, surveying remnants of a bygone era and rebuilding society in balance with the ever-evolving environment. From establishing outposts and trade networks to creating thriving colonies, they endeavor to leave their mark on New Dawn, writing a bright, new chapter for humanity – together.

Arctic Theory will implement a deliberate launch strategy, introducing the vital game loops for PoND via a closed alpha phase, the official date of which will be announced in Q1 2023. This approach will provide players with a robust introduction to the game world and a clear understanding of its foundational mechanics, including exploration, surveying, and settlement building. As development progresses, the team will carefully incorporate new and increasingly ambitious features leading to the full release.

Gísli Konráðsson, Creative Director and Co-Founder, elaborates on the studio’s approach, stating, “There’s a trend in our industry of making grand announcements about groundbreaking features and immersive world-building mechanics in games that often fall short at launch, especially in the MMO genre. While our approach for the rollout of Pioneers of New Dawn may not be groundbreaking, it is designed to deliver on our promises from day one, and allows players to experience the game as it grows and evolves. Furthermore, our strategy prioritizes providing authentic opportunities for feedback, and offering a transparent timeline for development milestones so players feel both informed and confident that PoND will deliver on its goals.”

As a step in this process, Arctic Theory has revamped and relaunched its official website. The redesign features a dedicated section for dev blogs, studio news, and video content. It also offers a newsletter sign-up for those interested in keeping up-to-date with the latest information about Pioneers of New Dawn’s launch, playtesting, and ongoing development. Additionally, those who sign up for the newsletter will be granted special offers, exclusive invitations to in-game events, and priority selection for the PoND pre-alpha.

Publicist and Brand Manager, Dustin Hucks, emphasizes the studio’s core principles of transparency and open dialogue. He states, “Our objective is a constant flow of information to players and media about Pioneers of New Dawn from now until its full release. We’ll provide regular updates that include 3D assets, gameplay animations, snippets, content schedules, team interviews, blogs, and multiple avenues for community feedback. The aim is to ensure everyone is  well-informed of our progress, the timing of our actions, and the principles guiding our decisions.“

The studio caps off its announcement by revealing a new company logo, featuring an icon of the unique Icelandic landscape – the Arctic fox. 

Concludes Gísli, “Our logo holds both personal significance to us and will hopefully be recognized as a symbol of innovation in the MMO genre in due time.That aspiration begins with Pioneers of New Dawn. We’re thrilled to invite everyone on this journey with us.“

London (August 16, 2023) Suit up, Exofighters! Today, the expansive armory of Exoprimal™ is getting even bigger with the launch of Title Update 1 across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows, with Xbox Game Pass for console, PC, and Cloud, and on PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, and PC via Steam. This free content update bolsters the online team-based action game’s growing arsenal with 10 new Exosuit variants and over 30 Modules. Alongside all this new dino-slaying technology, Title Update 1 includes a free Skywave “Egret” skin to commemorate the milestone of more than one million players joining the wargames.

Exosuit variants are equipped with unique weapon loadouts that contrast with the standard models. These alterations change the effective combat range of suits and provide more freedom of choice, allowing Exofighters to discover fresh playstyles and develop entirely new strategies.

The 10 Alpha variant Exosuits are available now and include:

• Deadeye Alpha: Burst Fire – This model sports a shotgun with a short-range spread that focuses into a five-shot burst while aiming down sights, offering offensive options for any distance.
• Zephyr Alpha: Energy Chakram – Unlike its melee-focused counterpart, this Zephyr aims to keep a distance from foes, as its projectiles grow more powerful in mid-range fights.
• Barrage Alpha: Rocket Hop – This model packs a rocket launcher, which can be charged to deal more damage and cause explosions that also allow it to leap high into the air.
• Vigilant Alpha: Marksman – The highly maneuverable Marksman wields a semi-auto rifle that spits a stream of single-fire projectiles. One out of every few shots also packs an extra punch!  
• Roadblock Alpha: Fortress Shield​​ – This Roadblock variant features an arm-mounted shotgun and a detachable shield, which enables it to defend one area while fighting in another.
• Krieger Alpha: Charge Shotgun​​ – This model trades its minigun for a chargeable shotgun that can fire wide-range scatter shots or powerful compressed blasts that will send foes flying.
• Murasame Alpha: Frost Glaive – The Frost Glaive unleashes a counterattack that emits waves of ice and freezes enemies in their tracks, making them vulnerable to follow-up attacks.
• Witchdoctor Alpha: Duality Beam​​ – This suit fires energy beams that heal allies and harm foes. The longer a beam connects with its target, the stronger its effect becomes.
• Skywave Alpha: Thunder Clap​​ – This model summons lightning from above to paralyze its foes. These bolts can also be charged to hail down powerful targeted strikes.
• Nimbus Alpha: Double Barrel – Brandishing two types of shotguns, this variant can both heal and deal damage with a sizable spread shot that gets more potent at close range.

These Exosuit variants are playable in both the main game mode, Dino Survival, and Savage Gauntlet, the 5-player co-op time-attack mode that introduces new challenges each week. Alpha variant Exosuits can be unlocked for free in-game by leveling up the base versions of the Exosuits to suit level 20.

Alongside the new armor, Title Update 1 includes 34 more Modules that allow Exofighters to customize how their Exosuits perform on the battlefield. Some of these additional Modules can be equipped by any Exosuit, whereas others are designed for use with specific models or variants.

Title Update 1 also features a free Exosuit Decal celebrating the collaboration with J-pop group Da-iCE, who produced the song “Funky Jumping” for Exoprimal. A “Funky Dance” emote will also be released in the next title update this October, allowing Exofighters to break out dance moves from the music video.

Beyond Title Update 1, Capcom is supporting Exoprimal with free content updates each season. Season 2 arrives in October 2023 and will include a new map, mission type, Rigs, Modules, and the highly anticipated Street Fighter™ 6 collaboration. In January 2024, Season 3 will feature Beta variant Exosuits, a new Neo Triceratops boss enemy, a Monster Hunter™ crossover, and more. Please stay tuned for more information on upcoming updates in the future.
